  The note currently displayed to my account disputes the claims made in the linked tweet (that the Internet Archive is run by the US government(???)), not the supposed motivation of the attackers. That said, this just seems to me like the attackers are trying to come up with some justification after the fact to explain why they would go after something as universally beloved as the Internet Archive. Actual pro-Palestine activists are not happy, eg (strong language): https://x.com/Aldanmarki/status/1844155616199413969 https://x.com/Aldanmarki/status/1844155616199413969

  The current community notes I see on these tweets just basically say: the Internet Archive is not part of the US government.

  You should actually read what the notes say.

...or someone attempting to blame palestinian activists. This smells a lot more like someone trying to ape activist language.

  It may not even be that nefarious — perhaps they did the hack “for the lulz” then had pangs of conscience afterward and scrabbled around for a (false) excuse. In any case, the IA was in some cases the only public host of important documents about Palestinian history, which are currently inaccessible, to say nothing about how important the Wayback Machine has been over the past year.

    Sounds more like they hacked it for the lulz and then put up the tweets for even more lulz. Attacking the IA to support palestine is about as nonsensical as you can get.

      There is a lot of embarassing pro-Zionist material archived on IA, but scrubbed elsewhere from the Internet: https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=zionist+material+on+internet+archive&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=zionist... So just to play devils advocate, since Zionism is being critically received all across the Internet - it is more likely that IA was attacked in order to censor those materials, and then a sockpuppet was created to shift the blame to pro-palestinian voices - which makes no sense, since pro-palestinian voices would want IA to stay up so that embarassing Zionist material was made more available - but such is the nature of agitprop campaigns during war time: through subterfuge and obfuscation, deny your enemy the materials it requires to continue its campaigns, and also deny them the ability to identify the cause of that material going missing, also - or, at the very least, obfuscate the actors responsible for denying it, using sockpuppetry ..

        Is there more embarrassing pro-Zionist material on IA than there is embarrassing pro-Palestine (for lack of a better term for whatever "the opposite" is) material?

Or, equally valid, pro-zionist activists who want something that is normally easily accessible in the IA to be censored.

>They are under attack because the archive belongs to the USA, and as we all know, this horrendous and hypocritical government supports the genocide that is being carried out by the terrorist state of “Israel”. Ah yes, known arm of the US military-industrial complex, The Internet Archive
